Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for controlling data flow. A control message is formed for the data flow in response to an event while the data flow is occurring. The control message includes a data type, an action, and a duration. The control message is sent to a receiver data processing system, wherein the receiver data processing system modifies the data flow to the data processing system using the control message.
